Citing "unreasonable behaviour" in court documents, Price was granted a decree nisi at London's High Court by District Judge Anne Aitken.

Neither Price nor Reid were present in court to hear the pronouncement, which took just seconds. However, it will be several weeks before the divorce is officially finalised.

After a short romance, the couple married in Las Vegas in 2010, weeks after Reid won Celebrity Big Brother.

Announcing their separation last January, Price said that Reid had become "more fascinated by life in the media eye", adding: "Some of his behaviour became difficult for me to understand and caused issues. I have tried to help him with these issues but they have put a considerable strain."
